Application

You are applying to join a research project, which is operating in a culturally diverse country under conditions which will likely be quite different from those to which you are accustomed. The project involves hard physical labor and the ability to live and cooperate in close quarters with others in an environment unlike your home country. This questionnaire helps to ensure that the project operates smoothly and that we have some idea of your skills, interests, strengths, and weaknesses prior to the beginning of the field season. Please try to answer as accurately and completely as possible.

This application will take about 10 minutes to complete.
